Thank you for Willard Thompson, the publisher, and Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was really excited about the premise of the story, especially the time in history. I liked Emma's interaction with various famous artists. However, on the whole, I just thought the book was okay. I struggled to keep reading the book as it did not capture my interest. I read the majority of the book but skipped to the end as I just wanted to find out what happened in the end.

Thank you for Cristina Alger, the publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of "Girls Like Us" in exchange for an honest review. I liked this book overall. I really enjoyed the premise of the story. The author provided an excellent character in Nell who must deal with multiple priorities going on at the same time...leave from the FBI, her father's death, an active murder case in which she is asked to assist with, and whether her dad, a detective, was involved in the murders. At times, I did not feel the writing was very strong and could have been improved to make the story more exciting. However, it is a good book. I could see this being a series with Nell as the main character.

Thank you for Will Ottinger, the publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of "The Last Van Gogh" in exchange for my honest review.

I was very excited to read this book based on the summary provided. I am a huge fan of Van Gogh and was looking for an exciting fictional mystery regarding one of his paintings. However, this book fell short of my expectations. I read the first 25% of the book and gave up. For me, the writing, characters, and plot formation did not entice me to continue on further with the book.

Thank you for Ashley Weaver, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me a copy of "Murder at the Brightwell" in exchange for my honest review.

This was an interesting start to a "cozy" mystery series. Amory and Milo are married and seem to have the life that most would envy. However, Amory and Milo appear to be married only on paper as they are often leading separate lives. When a former fiancé, Gil, asks Amory for her assistance in talking his sister out of marriage to an unlikable gentleman, Amory sets off to the Brightwell hotel posing as Gil's love interest, she stumbles into a murder mystery when Gil's sister's fiancé is found dead.

On the whole, this was a good start to this series. Though the main characters were pretty shallow, you could plainly see that Amory and Milo are in love with each other but desperately trying to hide their feelings. This is curious as they are married. It makes a reader wonder what brought these two together and what happened earlier on in their marriage to cause such a distance between them.

The actual murder mystery was laid out well. There were several possible suspects. I had not guessed who the killer was until almost before it was revealed. I will be interested in reading further in this series to see what happens between Amory and Milo.

Thank you to SarahJane Ford, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of "I Give You My Heart" in exchange for an honest review.
